::CIP::
Went to the library to do voluntary work today. It was a new experience for me. Tiring job, you know. I stood for at least 7 hours shelf-reading the books. And after sometime I got cynical and hoped that no one would touch those books after I arranged them. I can't help it, you know. Imagine all your hardwork wasted. Anyway, I was posted to the Arts and Cookery section. The Arts section was okay because it wasn't exactly the most popular section. I doubt many Singaporeans are interested in arty stuff anyway. But the Cookery section was terrible. The books were all messed up and in the wrong shelves and I had to carry the thick, heavy piles of books here and there. And every few minutes later, it would get messy again. And people just place their books anywhere. They just cannot bring it back to it's original position or even just drop it in these metal boxes where the books would be returned later. Imagine finding a Women's magazine in the Cookery section. I get really mad you know. Had to walk far away from my section to place it back. And the exact location is not easy to find either. Now I know why librarians always are so grouchy. We were required to borrow 4 books. So I borrowed this Garfield book [not comic] illustrating Garfield's history. There were some comic strips inside. And they were extremely funny. Jim Davis's really talented. Maybe I will post it here sometime later.
